What Is Personal Injury Law?
Personal injury law is a branch of civil law that allows injured victims to pursue financial compensation from the parties responsible for their harm. Most personal injury claims arise from negligence—when someone fails to act with reasonable care and causes harm as a result.
To succeed in a personal injury claim, four key elements must be proven:
- Duty of care: The defendant owed you a legal duty to act responsibly.
- Breach of duty: The defendant violated that duty through negligence or recklessness.
- Causation: The breach directly caused your injury.
- Damages: You suffered measurable losses as a result.
Personal injury cases can arise from a variety of incidents, including motor vehicle crashes, slips and falls, defective products, nursing home abuse, and more. Our attorneys will evaluate your unique circumstances and help determine the best path forward.
